FuelEfficiency

Kunihiko Ito, Chief Engineer

Since launching the Suzulight in the 1950s, Suzuki has produced a vast range of models each tailored to the needs of its day, including our successful world strategic car, the Swift. In developing the Baleno we wanted to take the compact car to the ultimate level by applying the expertise we honed in building the Swift. So we set our sights on developing the ideal hatchback, one that makes no compromises and, giving it an elegant, sophisticated and grown-up character in a different way from the Swift, perfectly embodies all the elements expected in a car of this size—design, utility, comfort, manoeuvrability, superior driving performance, and fuel efficiency. This car is the result. I hope the Baleno gives you a sense of what the new Suzuki is capable of.

Suzuki has always pursued improvement of fuel efficiency and lightweight technologies

with the aim of achieving class-leading environmental performance.

New technologies are applied to the Baleno in

three areas Suzuki considers are core themes for

next-generation environmental technologies: upgrades to the body,

increase of powertrain efficiency, and energy management.

In the search for ever-better fuel efficiency and driving performance, the BALENO features a host of new environmental technologies.

New-generation platformThe structure of the platform and all its parts have been newly designed in pursuit of the optimal frame shape. By increasing rigidity and reducing weight, that design results in enhanced fuel efficiency, safety, handling, stability, and NVH performance.

The new 1.0 BOOSTERJET direct-injection turbo engineFuel efficiency has been improved by reducing engine displacement, and output and torque are boosted with a turbocharger. The BOOSTERJET is an engine that, while improving fuel economy, generates torque from low speeds. By offering the same level of torque as a naturally aspirated engine for a car of the next class up, it delivers an effortless ride and genuine driving pleasure.

Simple shape resistant to deformationThe frame with smooth, curving lines with fewer joint points enables reduction of the reinforcements that were required on the joint points in previous frames. The structure is not only lighter but also disperses collision force energy more efficiently.

Reconfigured joint pointsJoint points are located at the strongest, most rigid parts of the frame, thus delivering further weight savings by reducing the number and size of components required to maintain strength.

Many reinforced parts are required because of the bends and twists in the structure. Complicated dispersion of energy in case of collision

Need for reinforced parts is minimized by a smooth and flowing structure.

Thick components are required because of dispersed locations of joint points.

Rigidity is maintained by placing joint points at the strongest parts of the frame.

Every possible measure has been taken to make the vehicle light and rigid. By adopting a new-generation platform, everything from the fuel efficiency performance to the safety performance, NVH performance, and driving performance, have been enhanced. The structure of the platform and all its parts have been newly designed and a weight reduction of approximately 30kg (compared to the Swift) has been achieved just in the platform alone.

Advanced multi-information display (GLX Turbo)

Unlike a port fuel injection system, which mixes fuel and air in the intake ports and feeds the air-fuel mixture into the combustion chanbers, a direct injection system injects fuel straight into the cylinders. This has the benefit of reduced fuel consumption by optimally controlling the amount of fuel, resulting in efficient fuel combustion. The direct injection of fuel also contributes to knocking suppression by cooling the temperature in the combustion chambers. With its excellent atomisation of injected fuel, a stronger tumble flow, and variable fuel pressure control technology, the new BOOSTERJET engine balances power and fuel efficiency.

Injectors with six-hole nozzlesIn order to quickly create an air-fuel mixture inside the cylinder, the fuel to be injected must be atomised. To achieve this, six-hole nozzle injectors have been placed on the side of each cylinder. A higher-pressure pump also helps atomise fuel, making the fuel more readily combustible and stabilising combustion.

Evolution of high-tumble portsThe high-tumble port technology developed for the DUALJET engine has advanced. By creating more swirl in the air-fuel mixture, the fuel burns more efficiently, resulting in better thermal efficiency* and minimising knocking. *Thermal efficiency represents the amount of heat energy in fuel that is used for propulsion.

Variable fuel pressure control systemThis system optimises the amount of fuel injection according to driving conditions.• Low revs/low engine load (city driving): Reduces mechanical losses of the fuel pump and improves fuel consumption.• High revs/high engine load (sporty driving): Promotes fuel atomisation and improves fuel combustion efficiency.

Direct injection system

The engine is fitted with a turbocharger that produces extra power by using the energy of the exhaust gas to drive a turbine that forces feed the compressed air into the cylinder.The BOOSTERJET engine generates high torque from low revs. With 1.0L it produces the equivalent torque of a 1.7 to 1.8L naturally aspirated engine, while responding to the driver’s acceleration with precise boost pressure control.

Wastegate normal opening controlA wastegate is a boost pressure control valve that works by adjusting the inflow of exhaust to the turbocharger.

• Low to medium engine load – city driving, etc.: Wastegate valve opens to reduce unnecessary pumping loss, improving fuel economy.

• High engine load – sporty driving, etc.: Wastegate valve closes to increase boost pressure, adjusting it to the set level.

Cooling technologyDue to the high temperature of compressed air generated by a turbocharger, a turbo engine is prone to knocking and other symptoms of abnormal combustion. To minimise knocking, BOOSTERJET employs cooling technology including a high-performance engine oil cooler and piston cooling jets that spray oil to the pistons.

High-rigidity, high-tensile partsHigh-rigidity, high-tensile pistons, connecting rods, crankshaft, and the engine block are designed for the high power and torque generated by the turbocharger. This also leads to excellent NVH performance.

Spacious cabinThe key to the design was, on a platform of limited size, minimising the size of the engine room and maximising cabin space while ensuring crash safety and creating a stylish design. Not only does the Baleno feature a new-generation platform that makes more efficient use of space, but also a more compact engine and less tilted mounting position has reduced the space required for the engine. The space thus saved has been incorporat-ed into the cabin and luggage area, ensuring plenty of room for adults in both the front and rear and their luggage, so even rear passengers can enjoy a long trip with legroom to spare.

Luggage spaceLuggage capacity of 355L

Whether you’re doing the school run, the supermarket shop or going for a lazy Sunday afternoon drive to the country, the new Baleno gives you plenty of room to move.

The cabin proportions are generous to say the least: both driver and passengers experience an expansive sense of space, ease and comfort. And with an ample amount of cargo space in the boot (355L), the rear seats can be folded down to accommodate double that amount.

Comfortable front seatsShifting the seat positions outward (20mm further than the Swift) widens the gap between the driver seat and passen-ger seat, while more shoulder room is freed up by minimising the projection of the door trim. With more space on both sides, the driver and passenger can sit in comfort.

Rear seat space and comfortOne of the key attractions of the Baleno is the spacious rear seat. A tandem distance (gap between front and rear seats) of 805mm (70mm more than the Swift) ensures plenty of legroom for passengers.
